Ok? Sounds like the person you're replying to said they did too? Why are we ending our statements in question marks.

  My understanding is that the question mark is part of the alias name.

    Oh that makes sense. I never am completely sure how to deal with the interaction of quote marks at the intersection of code and English
    • TacticalCoder 3y ago
      Yup: that's why I put in quotes... I'm literally using "h?" as a Bash alias, as GP said. It may be a bit weird to use a question mark as part of a Bash alias that said: sorry for the confusion!

        For what it's worth, I like to use backticks in these situations (e.g. `h?`). I think it reduces ambiguity a bit.
        • gumby 3y ago
          I do this too although it can add ambiguity when writing about the shell!

  Why are we ending our questions with full stops!
  • IggleSniggle 3y ago
    Great question?
  • gumby 3y ago
    Because we sheeple kowtow to the periodarchy.. I’ve decided to end sentances with two to try to avoid their ire..
